New life

Well, not really. I feel like I'm back in high school, as I moved into my dad's house today. It's only for a few months, though. That way I could save some money by not having to pay rent and bills.

As I loaded my brother's pick-up with my stuff, said goodbye to Nate, drove to my dad's, and unloaded the truck, I tried my best to remain calm.

I usually adjust well. Many have said I'm really versatile, and I'm always the one to welcome change with open arms.

But this... this is just a really uncomfortable situation for me.

Maybe it's because I'm moving to the suburbs, away from the city I love so much.
Maybe it's because I'm living with a parent now for the first time in 5 years.
Maybe it's because I'm all alone now.
Maybe it's because I've been forced to place my precious cats into temporary homes.

Well, whatever it is, I've been walking around all day with a knot in my stomach. I will get over this. Time heals everything.

Don't get me wrong, I like my dad and brother and it's great being able to see them everyday. It's just that I've become so accustomed to life with Nate. I had been with him for a little bit more than two years, and even though we drifted apart and our relationship ran its course, I still consider him a close friend. And my cats... I miss them so much already.

I feel really uncomfortable and out of place now. It's so not me. But I know I will get over it. Hopefully it will be soon. Time heals everything.
